Check out alternative CPUs that work well with your editing setup. For a motherboard match, look into models compatible with your current system!

It doesn’t convey much information. Strictly speaking, a 3970x would be ideal. What’s your budget? Which components are you matching it with?

I can allocate roughly ±2000 for the CPU, MOBO, and cooling. This setup uses a 2080Ti with 64GB RAM. The purchase is also planned to support upcoming graphics releases later this year.

You probably won't be able to accommodate a 3970x model, so that's off the table. What are their prices in your area? I wouldn't think about the 10980XE unless you're handling AVX tasks. It seems like either the AM4 or TRX40 would be better options. Or maybe you're holding off until Zen 3 comes out and see what it brings. If you're planning a build later this year, just wait for Zen 3 and evaluate its features.

The 3970x model is around 1850, placing it within the "±" range. I'm weighing whether to hold off until the next processor launch for a potential deal or a better CPU option at the same cost.

You can take your time. It won't cause any issues...

When might the new Threadrippers be released?

We're not sure about this and can't predict it accurately. Typically, TR is announced later, but Zen 3 is expected around September.

How long do you expect it to take?

For TR we don't have clarity. For Zen 3 it might take 2-3 months.
